Once you install a script on your local copy of TamperMonkey, it should run automatically when you go to a page whose URL matches the @match line in the script. So go to the url that the match field says and it should run. If it doesn't, click on the TamperMonkey extension's icon - it should at least indicate that there is a script that can run. Obviously that matching URL is a little specific, and it should be made more general to work for all districts.

I think you're right about this. The TamperMonkey extension is a little work - first you have to install the extension, then you have to go and find matching scripts. It's fun but what would be better is, as you suggest, a web page. There is an API available to pull this data from FRC, so that would probably make the most sense.
